Pokemon Black - Catching Volcarona

I went through the northern doorway and made my way to Volcarona (Male, Bug/Fire, Lv. 70) and I saved the game before I confronted it.

I sent out Cole against it, and it used Quiver Dance to increase it's special attack and special defense, as well as speed, before Cole struck with Strength for great damage. Volcarona used Silver Wind for good damage next, then it's stats all rose before Cole struck with another Strength for great damage. Volcarona used another Silver Wind for good damage, then Cole attacked with Strength to push it to the red.

With Volcarona in the red, I started with using Pokeballs, and a single Dusk Ball caught it! It was certainly an interesting Pokemon, and I was happy to have it in my collection, but I wasn't too concerned with catching it as I had it's pre-evolved form in an egg waiting to hatch.

After this, I decided I would take a break from searching for the Seven Sages so I could go train in Nimbasa City. I found it odd how there were now so many people on the fields of both the Small Court and Large Stadium ready to battle, but it was good training that meant I could level up several of my Pokemon each day I trained.

After quite some time, a lot longer than I thought it would take, I was done with training at Nimbasa City for the day, and through it all Zach and Madelyn grew to Level 61, while Mason, Nora, Cole, and Arthur all grew to Level 62. I also taught Nora to use Earthquake in place of Bulldozer.

I decided to call it a day, and while I was glad that there were more people to battle I wasn't too pleased at how long it took to train, and especially how little experience I gained with the Lucky Egg most times even with all my opponents being several levels higher than my team. At least Nimbasa City would be an even better place to train for the road ahead.
